Chicken Tortilla Casserole

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt.
- 2
Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool.
- 3
When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside.
- 4
Reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don't have enough.)
- 5
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- 6
In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper.
- 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
- 8
Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- 9
Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar.
- 10
Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mixture over the cheese.
- 11
Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking.
- 12
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Chicken Gravy

Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat.

When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.
